IIASA RepositoryPlatform-Independent Storage of Data: An Application of HDF for the Simplified Ozone ModelI.J.G.HaagsmaauthorMany definitions are given for decision support systems (DSSs) and much research effort is put into the development of these systems for general use. Too much of this effort, however, is directed toward the development of computer tools and not enough emphasis is placed onto the architectural design of such systems. This paper tries to combine architectural design with a real life application. One key element in designing a DSS, that of platform independence, is emphasised using the simplified ozone model as an example. Adaptation of the hierarchical data format (HDF) to store scientific data sets is one of the options available for reaching a certain level of platform independence.1996-11WP-96-133Monograph
